Smart of OpenAI to shut down a tool that basically doesn't work before the school year starts and students start to get in trouble based on it.
I think this upcoming school year is going to be a wakeup call for many educators. ChatGPT with GPT-4 is already capable of getting mostly A's on Harvard essay assignments - the best analysis I have seen is this one:

I'm not sure what instructors will do. Detecting AI-written essays seems technologically intractable, without cooperation from the AI providers, who don't seem too eager to prioritize watermarking functionality when there is so much competition. In the short term, it will probably just be fairly easy to cheat and get a good grade in this sort of class.
